Title: Improvements in Machines for Folding Paper Bags.
Inventor: CRADDY EDWARD
Filed: 1907-05-07
Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 10,592. Craddy, E., and Walker, H. May 7. Paper bags. - In a machine for making kiteshaped bags,' paste is applied to one edge of a paper web by a travelling pasting-band, and the web is then cut into blanks by a guillotine cutter. Each blank is carried by rollers to a slightly-inclined table having a cross-slot, through which the blank is pressed by a cam-operated blade to form the first fold. After passing through pressing-rollers, one of which has a spiral groove to prevent contact with the pasted part, the blank slides down a sloping table 53, Fig. 6, until it contacts with a stop 54, which causes it to lie correctly in a \/-shaped pocket 53<a> at the bottom of the table 53. A cam-actuated blade completes the folding operations by striking the blank through a slot in the table 53 and into the bite of the rollers 57, 58. The finished bags fall upon travelling tapes which carry them away.

Title: Improvements in Shutters for Stereoscopic Cameras.
Inventor: RICHARD JULES
Filed: 1907-07-09
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 15,804. Richard. J. July 9. Shutters.-A shutter is described for stereoscopic cameras of the type having two sliding plate members moving in the same direction. Sliding diaphragm plates are fitted within the casing. Both diaphragm and shutter plates are cut away to provide for a central view-finder aperture n. The spring-controlled setting-lever e, Fig. 4, operates the plate a directly, and is mounted between the lenses. The retracting - spring b<3> of the second plate b is, arranged to act along the direction of movement. On actuation of the release j for the pin a<2> and plate a, the pin a<3> frees the lever l which is connected to the dash-pot m<1>, so that after a predeterminable interval this lever moves over to lift the lever k which releases the plate b. The dash-pot and lever are arranged so that the piston moves in the contrary direction to the operating- lever e. This to a large extent balances the shocks due to the moving parts in rapid exposures. The extension of the dash-pot is closed by a sleeve m<6>, Fig. 9, and has an opening m<3> and a tapering groove m<4>. The time is regulated according to the position of the opening m<6> in the sleeve. For time exposures, an additional spring-controlled lever o with two lugs o<2>, o<3> is used. This lever for instantaneous exposures is thrown out'of action by the sliding piece p moved from outside the case ; but in time exposures, on depressing the lever j, the part j<4> moves the pin o<5> and the lever o so that the lug o<3> catches the pin b<5> at the plate b. When the lever j is released, the pin b<5> slips between the lugs o<2>, o<3>, Fig. 7, and is retained by the lug o<2>. When the release is again depressed, the pin b<5> is freed and the plate b flies back. Both pin b<5> and lugs o<2>, o<3> are bevelled so as to pass on setting the shutter.

Title: Manufacture of Reduction Products of Para-aminophenylarsinic Acid and its Derivatives.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1907-08-01
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 17,619. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Aug. 1. Samples furnished under Section 2 of Patents &c. Act, 1907. Phenylarsenoxide and arsenobenzene derivatives are produced by the action of reducing-agents on p-aminophenylarsinic acid or its derivatives. When feeble reducing-agents such as hydriudic acid or sulphurous acid are employed, amino derivatives of phenylarsenoxide results ; whereas by employing stronger reducing-agents such as tin and hydrochloric acid or sodium hydrosulphite, derivatives of arsenobenzene result. By further reduction of p-aminopheaylarsenoxide with, for example, sodium amalgam, diaminodihydroxyarsenobenzene is obtained. In examples, p - aminophenylarsenoxide (NH2.C6H4 AsO) is produced by reducing p-aminophenylarsinic acid with hydriodic acid, sulphurous acid, and phenylhydrazine. By further reduction with sodium amalgam, diaminodihydroxyarsenobenzeneof the formula NH2.C6H4.As(OH).As(OH). C6H4.NH2 is produced. Inanotherexample,p-aminophenylarsinic acid is reduced by stannous chloride to diaminoarsenobenzene of the formula NH2.C6H4. As : As.C6H4.NH2; and in another, phenylglycinarsinic acid, C6H4.(NH.CH2.COOH)AsO3H2(produced by boiling sodium p-aminophenylarsinate with chloracetic acid), is reduced by sodium hydrosulphite to arsenophenylglycine, As2(C6H4.NH. CH2.COOH)2. Other derivatives of p - amino - phenylarsinic acid which may be reduced as above are oxanilarsinic acid, HOOC.CONH.C6H4.AsO3H2 (produced from arsanilic acid and oxalic acid), o-, m-, and dimethylarsanilic acids, (produced respectively by heating o- and m-toluidine, and p-xylidine with arsenic acid), acetyl-p-aminopbenylarsinic acid, and the carboxylated acidyl-arsanilic acids produced by oxidation of the above - mentioned homologous arsanilic acids and others.

Abstract: 13,865. Fessenden, R. A. July 1, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Wireless telegraphy.-In a system of wireless telegraphy, disturbances due to atmospheric electricity are obviated by using a high spark-frequency which causes the receiving-telephone to emit a high note on which the operator's attention concentrates, rather than on the lower-pitched noises due to atmospheric electricity. In the receiving-system, which is designed to assist in the elimination of disturbances, the aerial is connected to earth through two branch circuits 50, 65 and 51, 66, which circuits together with the aerial form two oscillatory circuits, one of which has the frequency of the signalling-waves while the other has a different frequency. Disturbing oscillations, the frequency of which is different from the frequency of either of these circuits, divide between the two circuits and balance each other on the detector 61 contained in a circuit coupled to these circuits through intermediate tuned circuits.

Granted: 1909-09-30
Abstract: 5310. Schneider, E. March 4. Projectile fuses.-Relates to projectile fuses of the kind in which two rotatable fuse rings are employed. According to the invention the movable rings b, c, Figs. 1 and 4, are connected together by a yoke e, and a fixed intermediate ring d is disposed between them. The lower ring c carries the graduated scale. A transverse flash-hole g in the upper ring b is always in communication, by means of one of the radial passages h, with a charge i of powder, which transmits the flash from the percussion cap j to the fuse-composition ring 1. A vertical flash-hole k in the ring b opens into the hole g, and a flash -hole m in line with the hole k is formed in the ring c. The fixed ring d has a flash-hole n. The fusecomposition 1, 2, 3 for the rings b, d, c respectively is shown shaded in Figs. 5 and 6. Figs. 4 and 5 shew the three flash-holes set in line, which position corresponds to the fuse set at zero. By moving the parts q, r of the movable rings over the hole n, the fuse is set to act only as a percussion fuse. In other positions, the flame traverses the path k, n, m, o, Fig. 6, in passing from the percussion primer j to the passage o opening into the powder chamber p, it then passes through the holes 6 in the carrier 7 and fires the priming s, the flame finally issuing through the aperture 9 in the plug 10 to fire the main charge. The covers y, 4, 5 are forced off in turn to permit the free escape of the products of combustion.

Filed: 1909-04-13
Granted: 1910-04-07
Abstract: 8781. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. April 13. Filaments are made from a special plastic mass containing tungsten or molybdenum or other refractory metal ; this may be used alone or with an addition of powdered metals, metalloids or compounds, to obtain filaments consisting of pure metal, alloys, compounds such as borides, silicides, and zirconides, or mixtures of metal with substances conductive when hot, such as thoria and zirconia. The plastic mass is precipitated from a solution containing a metallic compound such as ammonium tungstate and a cyclic hydrocarbon derivative such as pyrogallol, gallic acid, tannic acid, or isomers of these, for instance by adding sulphuric or hydrochloric acid or an alkali, and then blowing steam through the mixture. With molybdenum compounds, tannic acid is preferred, and the solution must be made alkaline by ammonia &c. The precipitate, after removal of water, may 'be squirted into filaments, which are dried, and require baking to render them conductive unless metal has been added ; the filaments may finally be heated to whiteness by current in hydrogen &c. Great shrinkage occurs, the amount being regulatable by the addition of powdered material to the plastic mass. In the Provisional Specification, the production of filaments of tantalum, niobium, and vanadium is referred to.
